I hear you too. People do expect certain things based off of a specific model. A lot of people want them to live up to those expectations. 

I figure if it’s good on technical features and design and priced correctly, they can call it a Tickle Pickle for all I care.

Well, Renault did it a couple of times.

Lexus, which used to lead the luxury/near luxury segment in US sales back multiple years ago, has been slowly declining in the US since their new design philosophy was implemented fleet wide right around 2015.

Arizona doesn’t always out-Florida Florida, but I’m a little tired of this state treating it like it’s some kind of contest. 

At initial read, I was thinking “Oh, I bet this driver is a small town girl with limited exposure life outside of town” and I read further until I reached the point where he said he was from Phoenix.

Dammit AD.... Ok. Lol

Based on their existing structure, I am not certain what the President of GM would do vs the CEO or the presidents of the other departments. It seems to me that most of the Presidents are assigned specifically to some branch of the company, whereas David doesn’t explicitly connect one here. Does that mean he’s…

I still would like to see the Hot Pocket movie on VHS

I’d like to start the new year right with my favourite Jalopnik post of all time.

That’ll probably make Volvo Mr. Pibb. 

So, the way I like to think about it, is if the M3/4 is Coke, and the AMG is Pepsi, the RC-F is root beer. More people love Coke and Pepsi but if you love root beer and want root beer, you’re going to get root beer.

I find the hardest thing about this show is trying to explain it in a way that makes sense to the uninitiated. 

If I didn’t own an IS-F now (the dealer sales manager called all the people he knew with a IS-F first) I think at 55k it might be worth consideration. As it stands, the IS-F ticks several boxes that the RC-F couldn’t, and so it doesn’t really work for me.

Admittedly, I only drove two cars aside from my own this year, due to working a lot and not getting out as much as I used to.

The reviews I read were less than thrilled with the entire game as a whole, but there is some X factor present in how well characterized the group was, which made me enjoy the game. I do have specific complaints, but I enjoyed the pretty-but-shallow open world and the interpersonal dialogue.

So, I don’t know if you are tempted to do this, but I found a sword (could have been DLC) that’s really good at warp strikes, and literally min maxed the warp strike ability to beat the whole game.

More like “brogurt,” am I right? 

The way you describe it it almost feels like some kind of automotive potlatch. 

Ever since I met my wife the first question that tends to pop in my head during these ask-anything sessions is how easy it is to comfortably get busy with a boo in it.
